Learn to Paint Golden Light in Watercolor on a Late Autumn Walk

[@LL-yy6mn]

Oh my gosh, this is stunning! I love autumn. Thank you!

[@DorisEttlingerStudio]

@@LL-yy6mn Thank you!

[@Speurneuscosmo]

I love to paint with watercolor. You don’t need to precisely and you don’t have to worry about mistakes. If you don’t like it, you paint it over or make it wet and wipe it away with a tissue. I love painting forest, urban sketch and minimalistic people. It is amazing with tiny details you can see what it is. Love the artwork and the golden forest.❤

[@DorisEttlingerStudio]

@@Speurneuscosmo Watercolor is more forgiving than people think. You just have to be open to the unexpected. I’m so glad you like the painting.

@@dianamajchrzak5855 Thank you, Diana. Q.gold is a favorite of mine as well. Try mixing it with another favorite, mineral violet. It makes a beautiful brown.

wow im so happy I came across your channel, im an artist myself, I use to paint just acrylic's 🥱 I know, so I found myself a whole new world, very challenging, some artist once said learning acrylic's painting is like teaching a dog to sit, and water colouring is like teaching a cat to sit. smile, its a whole different game. love your autumn painting very authentic and warm.

[@DorisEttlingerStudio]

@@iancameron6124 Thanks, Ian! I’m glad you found my channel. That quote about the cats and dogs is from Igor Sava. I repeat it to my students. It really sums up the difference between the media.

Doris, Thank you for this great tutorial You give great explanations and explain the mixing of colors and how to lift off, create negative painting techniques and how to make just enough details to make the painting worthwhile. Thanks again for your lesson. Don Sylvester Houston, Texas

[@DorisEttlingerStudio]

@@DonaldSylvester-l6j Thanks for your comment, Don! I hope you’ll view some of my other videos.

[@punkmoose3962]

I don't know if at 12:50 that was a mistake or not (whether you intended for a tree to be there), but if it was, really nice fix making that "taller grass" into a tree! Love seeing these processes because it can be informative what to do when we make a "mistake." Helps us know what to do to flow with the course of the painting. Speaking of which, gorgeous piece!

[@DorisEttlingerStudio]

@@punkmoose3962 I had to go back to 12:50 to see what I did. Yes, I was improvising as I was painting the positive and negative trees. The big tree, I decided needed to come down farther. Often, when doing a demo I wonder if I’ve made a big mess. (You should see my painting from last night’s demo!) Best to work with it and not try to lift your “mistake”. Now I can’t imagine the bigger tree not being rooted where it is. Thanks for watching so carefullly!

[@iancameron6124]

Totally agree punk, as water colouring were constantly learning on the job, and yeah, painting mistakes can only improve, our skills. ART frees the stress of life.

Oh how I love the quin gold and have used it a few times as it makes a painting glow. I have never liked the sponged trees or background because I can spot it when an artist uses it no matter how hard they try to disguise it.

[@DorisEttlingerStudio]

@@Catherine-rt9un Thanks for your comment, Catherine. I used to be a purist when it came to watercolor. But over the course of 15 years of teaching, I’ve embraced all kinds of techniques. Have you tried mixing Q. Gold with Mineral Violet (Holbein)? It makes a beautiful brown.

A beautiful painting, I love these colours too . I seem to be struggling a little with lifting , I wonder what I'm doing wrong? , which paper have you used here please? Perhaps I should change my paper ? Xx

[@michelekunnas4982]

I struggle with lifting as well and also wonder which paper you used for the video. I do find that some lift better than others.

[@DorisEttlingerStudio]

@@jennyjanesbeauty8216 Thank you Jenny! I used Fabriano 140 lb. Cold Press. The 3 colors used for this painting should lift easily, especially burnt sienna and ultramarine. If paint is reluctant to lift, I would use a damp synthetic brush and do a little scrubbing. Then blot with a tissue. I have a 1/4” synthetic flat (Escoda Perla) that works well. My Lowe Cornell synthetics also lift nicely.

what is brand of watercolor paper you were painting? it lifted color so easily. Arches paper can't do that.
